Laws of burnout transformation into the personal properties of representatives of the trades of the helping type

The general estimation of the research space of burnout testifies that scientific interest is basically concentrated on the study of phenomenology, structures, genesis, social-psychological and individual-personal determination. Thus, the problem of regulation of the burnout condition, its interrelations with personal properties is characterised by a small level of scrutiny. Besides, despite the consistently increasing interest in the burnout problem, structural and remedial approaches do not allow to make a uniform representation about the psychological mechanisms of its regulation. According to the structural-processual approach the regulation of the burnout condition is the process realised in laws of occurrence of its phases, tendencies and laws of structural-dynamic changes in each phase, provided for by psychological mechanisms. Following the results of the researches by A.O. Prokhorov about the interrelations between mental conditions and properties, and following the structural-processual logic, we have assumed that with each transition from one phase to another the burnout condition shows in stronger interrelations between all its structural elements, and in interrelations of structural elements with mental properties; mental properties depend on the burnout condition. In the phase "exhaustion" the highest degree of integration of interrelations of its structural elements among themselves and with mental properties, the influence of high expressiveness of the burnout condition on mental properties that can lead to its transformation in another group of mental phenomena - mental properties - is expected. The laws of transformation of the burnout condition into mental properties in our case were its structural-dynamic changes repeating in each phase for all representatives of the trades of the helping type. The purpose of the research was the study of laws of burnout condition transformation into mental properties by example of representatives of the trades of the helping type, which will allow to develop a universal model of its regulation. The results of the research allowed to draw a conclusion that all representatives of the trades of the helping type (medical, pedagogical workers), irrespective of their professional distinctions, show identical tendencies and laws of structural-dynamic changes of the burnout condition, which are due to the structure of their helping activities.
